Weekend Update

The light snow of the last week or so will take a breather today as the sun makes an attempt to break through the clouds. Winds have also lightened up, but it will still be cold with high temperatures around -8C. More light snow will develop tonight with just a coating expected. The weekend looks seasonable with cloudy skies an light winds. Temperatures will be in the -3C to 5C range for daytime highs and chilly below -10C at night.

On Monday a potent storm system is expected to develop along off the Carolina coast and perhaps affect out region. Low pressure in northern Quebec will also provide some energy and potential snow. It is very early to determine track and type of precipitation but the potential exists for some snow Monday and early next week. A similar situation is possible as well closer to Christmas. I will update the blog as often as possible up to Christmas, as I can appreciate that many people are traveling. I wish I had better news for the Gaspe region, but it looks like more precipitation for that region next week. The region has already had 360mm of precipitation this month including 102mm on the 14th and 111mm on the 15th. Major flooding continues across the Gaspe.
